Lou Williams Talks About his Infamous Strip Club Visit For Chicken Wings

Lou Williams has one of the best nicknames in sports, “Lemon Pepper Lou.”

It all started during the 2020 NBA bubble in Orlando when Williams took a quick trip to Atlanta to hit up Magic City Strip Club with Jack Harlow. The trip received plenty of backlash,  because it was against the league’s COVID policy at the time, and the detail about Williams picking up chicken wings from Magic City was fascinating.  Lou recently spoke with fellow  NBA player Draymond Green about the narrative of Lemon Pepper Lou.

“It was difficult for me, because I felt like it was getting to a point where all the s–t I accomplished, how I’ve carried myself over my career, they were just trying to attach some goofy s–t to my name,” Williams said (43:40 mark). “So, I was fighting a narrative. I was fighting a narrative, because they were trying to make me out to be a goofy. Like I was out here trippin’. And I was like, ‘C’mon, that has never been my M.O. Let’s not start that.’ I’m getting to the end of my career. I’m in year 15, and y’all talkin’ like I’ve been trippin’ this whole time.”
